Flea and tick infestations can become challenging to deal with if you don’t act fast in the initial stages. These pesky pests multiply rapidly and can cause serious problems that affect your furry friend’s health and overall well-being. But at the same time, you need to be careful about the type of product, its application, and its long-term use for active flea and tick treatment. Here are some popular options to check out:

• Edible chews
  One of the easiest flea and tick treatments for your pets is giving them edible chews that are easily digested and work effectively from the inside. Simaprica® is one of the most preferred products available in a wide range of doses for dogs of all breeds and sizes. A single piece can protect the dog from flea and tick infestations for over thirty days. The chewable formula is liver-flavored, so your pets don’t have any trouble having it when it’s mixed with everyday pet food. It is effective in just four hours and attacks the main egg colony of fleas to prevent them from spreading on the surface. A three-month supply kit, suitable for a mid-sized dog, is available for just $21. Prices vary depending on the dosage, breed, and size of the dog.
• Shampoos
  If you prefer topical flea and tick treatment products, consider buying the Adams Plus flea and tick shampoo for dogs. The gentle formula effectively eradicates adult fleas, larvae, eggs, ticks, and lice upon contact. Moreover, the shampoo is designed to leave the coat soft and shiny after washing and drying. Its active ingredients are safe for sensitive skin and leave behind a fragrance that does not irritate your pet’s senses. Moreover, the product suits most breeds as young as 12 weeks old. A single rinse of Adams Plus shampoo is effective for an extended duration of 28 days. You can order the 12-ounce bottle for just $15 online from popular retail websites.
• Dog collars
  Collars are a hassle-free alternative, easy to use, odor-free, and quite effective against active fleas, ticks, and live infestations. In fact, it is one of the few flea and tick treatment products that provides lasting effects for up to eight months and is effective from day one. The simple-to-use and easy-to-wear Seresto® collar is available in sizes for small and large dogs and contains an active-release formula. It can repel fleas and actively prevent an infestation around the neck, which is a major target for adult fleas. These collars also effectively control any infestation that spreads beyond the neck and back regions. For example, the Seresto® non-greasy collar for dogs of all sizes can be purchased online for just $67.98. Note that prices vary depending on the ongoing offers and promotions.
  

Key factors to consider while comparing flea and tick treatment options
Here are a few points that should be at the top of your list when comparing products:

• Type of product
  Ease of use or application mainly determines the type of treatment. So, you must decide before buying if you prefer a topical, oral, or wearable product.
• Active ingredient
  Treatment is effective because of the active ingredients used in the product, so read labels and instructions carefully before buying anything.
• Frequency of use
  Some products are one-time applications, while others need to be used throughout for active treatment. So also consider the frequency of use and method of application when buying.
